Stihl Wrenching
Broke the easyout? I suspect someone used red loctite in that hole... which is why the bolt broke in the first place. Heat while using the easyout might have helped.
You might want to plug the holes, then retap to 5mm (or put in timesert inserts) The bolts need the special 5mm cone washers on top of the muffler to stay in place. The exhaust gasket is set to grip the 5mm bolt. PITA to put a gasket in without the grippers..
